I need a new can opener, and a new finger.

I'm joining the vent club. What is with this week?!? I feel we all need this book...
Last night I was making chili and I was trying to open a can of kidney beans. My can opener is a shitty, rusted piece of junk that I can barely turn. My technique with it is to open at least half the can and then bend the can lid open. Well, the kidney bean can was giving me a particular hard time so like an idiot I got a fork for leverage and ended up slicing really deeply, halfway around my finger.
DH was at work, but luckily my ILs live close enough that my FIL watched DS and my MIL drove me and DD to urgent care. DD was such a charmer at the office, smiling and 'talking' to the doctor and nurses, but 6 stitches later and waiting for my pain med prescription to be filled she had had enough. She had been napping for an hour already when I got hurt and then when my ILs arrived we just got her in her carseat and left.... I couldn't even put on a bra, so she was hungry and in need of a change. Huge meltdown!
I'm on Norco for the pain, and boy is there pain. Everything hurts it, even picking up DD. Last night she punched my finger while we were doing that get-your-hands-out-of-your-mouth-so-I-can-feed-you dance. OUCH! And giving DS a diaper change while he kicks..... F THAT!!!
Oh, and did I mention my entire family has a cold? DS was up all night super stuffed up and cranky as hell. DD has a nasty cough. DH feels like crap but is still going to work (he works an overnight 12 tonight, FML). And now that I'm on Norco I can't take DayQuil or NyQuil so I have to go out and pick up some cold meds without acetaminophen. This mama REALLY wants a glass (or two) of wine... wait, can't have that either right now. Aaarrrrrrgh!!!

Re: I need a new can opener, and a new finger.
Hope everyone heals quickly!
Thank you @spainy17 I find them adorable too, but I'm partial.
